Kim's Convenience (2016–…): Season 2, Episode 13 - Handy Graduation - full transcript
At age twenty-six, Jung has just received his GED. To celebrate, Shannon wants to throw him a party at their Handy agency, with Jung's family among the invitees. Beyond her excitement about the GED, Umma is as happy when she learns that Appa and Jung have been in contact, Appa who does plan on attending the party. Umma sees this reconciliation between Appa and Jung as being able to bring the entire family back together. Something that happens and some information that comes to light at the party, the latter having indirectly to do with Jung's GED, have the potential to change both Jung's relationships with Shannon and Appa fundamentally. Although happy for her brother, Janet is jealous of the attention Appa and Umma are giving Jung because of the GED, she who got no such attention from her parents when she not only graduated from high school when she should have, but at the top of her class, and she who gets no such attention from her parents for getting one of her photographs published (unpaid) in a local free magazine. To garner that much wanted attention from her parents, Janet, with a little indirect help from Gerald's cousin, decides to become her own version of Jung.

How would you
describe your style?
Smart and sassy,
bold and brassy,
or clean and classy?
Bold and brassy.
Next question.
How many times do
you do it in a week?
Do what?
It doesn't say.
I'll put seven.
Lucky number.
What kind of kisser
are you?
Soft and supple,
long and lingering,
or wet and wild?
Who I kissing?
It doesn't say.
Third one.
Wet and wild.
What you doing?
Taking a quiz.
Your husband
is a Rachel.
What?
That's the kind
of Friend you are.
I'm a Phoebe.
My dog Ginger
is a total Joey.
I never watch
that TV show.
What TV show?
You want those
labels facing forward.
Great managing.
Assistant managing.
For now.
You tell Shannon yet?
No, because it's not for sure.
Jung Kim, working for
the competition.
It's just a second interview.
But, yeah, they love me.
Maybe I'll apply
for your job.
I think I'm ready
to watch people work
and pretend I care
which way the labels
are facing.
Just wait for me
to get officially hired.
Then make your move.
Then we'll all go celebrate.
Celebrate what?
I, uh...
I just got my GED.
That's great.
Oh! Congratulations!
We should celebrate.
Ah. You don't have
to do anything.
You only graduate once.
I missed my prom. Mono.
Not the good kind from kissing
but the confusing kind
from dance class.
Seriously,
we need to mark
the occasion.
Okay, but nothing big.
Yeah, no.
Just a drink after work.
We can even do it here.
Sounds fun.
We get overtime
for this celebration?
Uh... No.
So just time and a half.
I'll let everyone know.
So what's the deal
with this bike?
It's Gerald's cousin's.
We're motorcycle-sitting.
Is it broken?
You were leaking a little oil,
so I just tightened
the clutch cover.
Keep an eye on it.
Could be the gasket.
Totally.
Yeah, I thought those gaskets
were looking a little soft.
So what do we have to do?
Nothing.
Just fire it up
every once in a while,
keep it clean.
Nice bike.
Janet!
Janet!
Back here, UMMA.
I think you is dead.
I ring doorbell 100 times.
Hi, UMMA.
Jung! What you doing here?
Just helping out.
Ah! Such a good boy.
Here. Your mail.
Why is it open?
Humidity.
Oh, hey! It came!
Look, they printed
one of my photos.
Oh! That's huge.
Cool.
You get paid for that?
Well, no,
but it's really
good exposure, and...
Jung,
you tell Janet
the good news?
Jung get the GED!
Can you believe?
He finish high school!
Wow. That's great.
Welcome to the club, man.
So proud.
Okay, thank you, UMMA,
but I've got to get going.
Kimchee does not like it
when I'm late
for frittata night.
Breakfast for dinner.
Very cool.
Whose is?
Don't freak out.
Gerald's cousin
left it here.
I'm not going to, like,
ride it or anything.
Why are you laughing?
Oh, Janet, you is not
motorcycle-style.
Why are you laughing?
I don't know.
She's infectious.
I thought we said no
texting during dinner?
Sorry.
Don't tell me.
Tell the frittata.
It's my APPA.
He sent me a Korean flag
and seven thumbs up.
How are you supposed
to respond to that?
Turkey, turkey, taco.
Works for everything.
Totally.
"Totally."
Mr. Kim,
could you give me
a hand?
My eyes are bigger
than my arms.
Maybe if I...
The important thing is
that nobody got hurt.
Important thing is you pay.
That's good.
Humour helps in
situations like this.
What happen?
Enrique happen.
Jung? You texting with Jung?
Yeah.
Oh, my G!
Why you not tell me?
It's no big deal.
It's so big deal.
I never thought
I would live
to see the day.
I mean, I only knew
for a short of time.
APPA!
What a wonderful reunion.
What you doing?
I'm getting swept
up in the moment.
I can clean.
We can have our
whole family together.
It's been so long time.
Yeah. Maybe. Soon.
Have to have a party,
huh? I make Jung
all his favourite food.
Ddukbokki, haemul pajeon...
No party. See?
This is why I not tell you.
You always push
too much, too fast.
Okay, I not push.
What's turkey, turkey, taco?
I used to play that
in school.
You do not want to be
the taco. Believe me.
I mean, I know
I didn't get paid
for the photo,
but it's a provincially
distributed magazine.
Plus, more people will
see it 'cause it's free.
But she just went
on and on about Jung's GED.
He graduated high school.
We've all done it.
Yeah, but it's harder
to do when you're 26,
though I wouldn't
mind going back now.
Could finally make
the basketball team.
I graduated top of my class,
not that anyone noticed.
I guess that's what you get
for being the good one.
Your family loves you.
No one's going to bench you
just because Jung's
back on the scene.
That's not
what this is about.
He may be the starting centre,
but you're still
a solid point guard.
You didn't make the team.
Get over it.
Well, I had the technique.
Uh...
How many spikes
does your fork have?
I wouldn't worry about it.
Okay, I know we said
no theme, but, honestly,
it found itself.
"Under the sea."
I'm with you.
Like sharks and skeletons.
And Alejandro
let me borrow some
endangered coral
from his scuba trip.
I feel like this might not be
about me anymore.
I know. I know.
Maybe there's
a small part of me
that's overcompensating
for my prom.
Yeah. Maybe a little bit.
It's just that I had
everything worked out
to the tiniest detail.
My corsage was
this gorgeous orchid.
I tried to press it in a book,
but I just ruined the orchid.
And the book.
Well, if you need
anyone to assist you
while you manage this party,
I'd be happy to help.
Ah. Streamer duty?
Oh! I'd be honoured.
Whoa.
I think that
little guy's lost.
I think that
little guy's my sister.
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa.
What are you doing?
Just in the neighbourhood.
On the old crotch rocket.
Please don't say
"crotch rocket."
When did you start riding?
When didn't I ride?
Very recently.
Well, a 15-minute written test
changed all that.
I think you look
so cool.
Thanks.
Like Bad Sandy at
the end of Grease.
Yeah, it's pretty funny.
You're getting all
scholarly and square,
and I'm riding a bike now.
Taking life at
60 clicks an hour.
That's not very fast.
Sometimes 80 clicks.
Just don't tell UMMA and APPA.
They would freak.
Sorry, I have to take this.
It's a phone call.
Is it them?
Don't tell them
I'm riding a motorcycle.
Busted.
It's not.
Okay, seriously,
where are they going?
So you talk to Jung lately?
Yeah, we text a little bit.
So I guess he told you.
Yeah. Kimchee eat
whole fork.
No, about what
old Janet is up to
and her need for speed.
Old Janet is
always late for work.
Maybe it's time
for new Janet, huh?
I get ticket.
Right near first base.
Oh, hi, Janet.
You guys going to a game?
APPA giving to Jung,
graduation present.
Ah.
Just a little something.
Oh.
Long time ago,
APPA and Jung always go
to watch Blue Jay game.
Well, I'm sure
he'll love it.
As much as I loved
the present you gave me
when I graduated
from high school.
Yeah, exactly.
I didn't get one!
I don't want to fight.
Also, Janet,
can you work store
so we can go to Handy
for Jung party?
Seriously?
No. Maybe
we close the store,
so we can all...
You're closing
the store for this?
You never close the store.
Yeah, we close the store
that time Jung was sick.
Also, this time
when whole family go
to Handy party together.
Well, good,
close the store, then,
and I'll see you at the party.
I'll definitely
see you at the party.
Yeah, we hear you
first time.
Hey, there, Mr. Workaholic,
put away that clipboard.
It's prom night. Almost.
Not really. Just drinks.
A few nibbles. Super low-key.
Sorry, I'm almost done.
This last drop-off
was seriously...
Wow.
You dressed up.
I actually considered looking
for my old prom dress,
but then I remembered my dad
burned it because of the mono.
Kind of a real life nod
to The Velveteen Rabbit.
Well, you look great,
although you are missing
a little something.
Um...
Uh... Wrist.
Right.
Thanks for the party.
Thanks for...
Paper towels, paper towels.
There's a huge spill
out there.
She's got it.
Oh! Wait. You don't
have the paper towels!
Kimch, have you seen
Shannon around?
You mean my new boss?
I mean your current boss.
You know what I mean.
I think she's avoiding me.
Dude, it's in your head.
She's probably not
thinking about you at all.
I doubt that's true.
What did you do?
What makes you think
I did anything?
I'll just ask her.
Hey, Shannon!
Hey, party cats.
Hey.
Everything looks so good.
Thanks.
Hey, boss, you see
this streamer curl?
Whoo!
You asked, I delivered.
I guess you can call me
the delivery manager.
You know what?
I, uh, forgot the cupcakes.
They're in my office.
I'm just gonna go grab them.
I'll get them for you, boss.
Oh. No, you don't have to.
No. It's no trouble at all.
So, earlier...
You know what?
There are way too many
cupcakes for him
to handle by himself.
I'm just going to
go give him a hand.
There aren't as many
as she thinks.
So many people here already.
Jung have lots of friends.
Maybe they have to come,
to keep job.
Watch where you going!
Sorry. Did I scare you?
I don't know what he saying.
Did I scare you?
We can't hear
with the helmet on.
Janet?
Wha...
What you doing
riding motorcycle?
I guess it's just my style.
You're going to hurt yourself
or us and everybody.
Yeah. How fast
you think you go?
Probably too fast.
Very dangerous.
I going inside.
You can talk motorcycle
if you want.
Janet, this is
a very bad idea, hmm?
And...
Maybe after,
you give to me ride?
I'm gonna go park.
This is fun.
Yeah.
We should do more
of these parties.
Do you know what it's for?
Shit.
There he is. Go. Go.
I want to watch
you talk and smile.
Yeah, have to go.
Yeah. Go.
No, have to "go" go.
Then hurry up.
Jung!
You looking for APPA?
He just go to bathroom.
Janet coming soon.
Then whole family together.
Great.
I bring all
your favourite food.
You know what, UMMA?
I'll be right back.
Jung? Don't go too far.
What you doing?
It's okay. I work here.
There you are.
Here I am.
I was here,
but now I'm gonna go there.
Wait.
Nope. Nope. Wrong.
Not going to do that.
What's wrong?
I thought that we both...
We did. I did.
But I don't.
You threw me a prom.
So?
So people don't
just throw proms
for people they don't
have feelings for.
Yeah, they do. They're called
prom committees.
And you don't
just kiss someone
after they've peed.
You kissed me.
Well, whatever feelings
I may or may not have,
I'm in a relationship.
Alejandro and I
are in a good place
right now.
And I don't want to wreck
our whole work-buddy thing.
You don't have to worry
about that anymore.
I took another job.
What?
Yeah, as a manager.
Comfort Car Rental.
So while I was
planning you a party,
you knew you were leaving.
Well, I just found out
about it yesterday.
I was going to tell you.
When?
After you gave me
the corsage of lies?
Shannon.
It's too bad because
I write really great
recommendation letters.
Not just "To whom
it may concern."
I do the research.
It's the personal details.
Oh...
Jung.
Hey. Sorry,
I didn't see you there.
It's okay. I just looking,
huh? You work with
lots of good car.
Thanks.
Volvo, Audi, any Genesises?
Huh?
Genesises. It's a Hyundai.
Oh. Yeah. Yeah, a few.
Ah.
I am happy for you.
Con-graduation.
Thanks.
Con-graduation.
Hey, APPA,
why don't you join the party?
I'll be right in.
What's wrong?
Nothing. I just need, um...
You know what?
Why don't we just
go in there?
No. You have a problem. Hmm?
You have jureumjin,
just like when you
were a little boy.
Exactly same.
Yeah, well, I'm not
a kid anymore.
Ooh. Look. There's again.
Let's just go find UMMA.
No. You tell to me
you problem.
I help you fix.
That's what APPA do.
It's fine.
You always running
away from you problem.
That's you problem.
And your problem is
you think you know better
than everyone else,
but you don't.
You never did.
Okay.
You solve problem
by yourself.
I've been doing that
on my own for a while now.
Maybe you not on your own
if you listen to people
who know better.
I'm fine.
Then why
you have jureumjin?
Don't touch me.
I not touch you!
I don't need this.
You think I need this?
Huh? Nobody need this!
I'm going this way.
Yeah. That's why
I go this way.
This is old-timey.
This puts bunny ears
on everyone.
This is fisheye.
You have filter
for regular picture?
Uh...
You'd think
there's got to be.
What's wrong?
You have jureumjin.
Nothing. Let's go.
You talk to Jung?
So stubborn.
You so stubborn.
Why you do like this?
Where's Jung?
He left.
He left?
Got it.
Hello? Somebody?
Somebody?
Janet?
Hello?
Are you hurt?
No, I'm fine. I'm okay.
Ow. Okay.
My side's a little sore.
Oh!
Yeah, motorcycle was on.
I'm usually better
at parking.
Here, sit.
Doesn't mean
I'm not motorcycle-style.
Remember when you and Jung
share bunk bed?
Every night,
you stuff pillow
in pyjama.
I was worried
I'd fall out.
You sleep bottom bunk.
You is a safe girl.
If you want to ride,
you can ride.
Thanks, but I'm not really
asking your permission.
Too bad.
I already give to you.
No take-back.
UMMA, were you smoking?
I think you hit head
too hard.
You know
it's really bad for you.
Not as bad as motorcycle.
Worse.
You worse.
So what I'm doing now is,
I put my left leg
in the pants first.
Noticed a difference
right away.
Now this is where you tell me
something about you.
I find Janet.
Yeah, pretty embarrassing.
I was in the parking lot...
Fixing bike. So good at.
How is that embarrassing?
Hey! There he is.
Are we getting
this picture or what?
Getting late.
Maybe another time.
We're all here.
So everybody get together.
You okay?
I don't want
to talk about it.
Regular filter please.
Say Kim-cheese.
Terence!
What?
Okay, one more.
This time, panorama.
We go now.
Okay, I already started,
so this is going
to get weird.
I am really excited.
I've already given my notice,
and I'm ready to go.
I can go in
any direction you like.
Oh.
You mean you're going
in a different direction.
Background check. Right.
I mean, those records
are from a long time ago.
Yeah, you, too.
Guess what?
Shannon just gave me
your old job.
Grab a cup.
We're celebrating.
Wow. That's great!
We're gonna have
an apartment
full of managers.
Well, technically,
I'm an assistant manager,
but I can still fire Terence.
Dude, congrats.
Mmm. That is not good.
I'll get the beer.
Look, family picture.
With Meongcheong Terence.
Still, family picture.
Yeah, it's nice.
I go put on
"don't touch" wall.
I know I'm late.
I'll stay longer.
Hi, Janet.
Hi, UMMA.
Even with motorcycle,
old Janet is still slow.
Huh?
Happy two-year-late
graduation.
Are these the same tickets
you were gonna give to...
You don't want?
No. I want. I want.
Thank you. Gerald's
gonna be so excited.
Hmm.
These are great seats.
Oh. Yeah. Have a fun time.
I was kidding. Of course,
I'm gonna take you.
Yeah, okay.
It'll be fun.
Yeah.
And you can buy for me
"Happy five-month-late
birthday" hot dog.
And "Happy late
Father Day" beer.
And, uh, "Thank you
for tuition" nachos. Huh?
Now I'm thinking
I'll take Gerald.
Uh...
